Welcome to 715 Chapman Street in the heart of Ashland. This meticulously maintained one-level, four-bedroom, two and a half bath brick home has been owned by the same family for over a decade. Located on a large lot, one gets the feel of the country, with the benefit of in-town living. Enter via the foyer with a slate-look floor and large coat closet. The spacious living room is next--with a picture window that offers a clear view of the quaint street, manicured lawn, and gorgeous, mature trees. Peppered with all kinds of botanicals including boxwoods, nandina, camellia, hollies, crepe myrtle, day lilies, and fig trees-this landscaped yard is a visual delight. Off the living room is a large formal dining room leading into a compact cook?s kitchen with sculptured granite countertops, a double sink, an industrial backsplash and a four-burner stove with an oven and hood. The flooring is a Carrara Marble vinyl tile. The kitchen opens warmly into a den with a propane fireplace and glass-front insert, exposed beams, and is adjacent to an airy Florida room with five sliding glass doors overlooking a frog pond, a forest, and a carpet of soft, thick grass. Off the kitchen is a laundry room, and a half-bath. The long hallway shines with the original hardwood floors that continue into the three huge guest bedrooms and full bathroom at the end of the hall, and flows into the primary bedroom with a newly renovated full bathroom with a large, open, tiled shower. The custom-built addition presents a flex room that was used as a watchmaker?s workshop and office. There is an in-floor safe and there are two entrances--one in the front and another in the back. A two-car garage with shelves, and cabinets adds convenience and storage. There is parking for several cars including space for an RV, as well as on-street parking. There is also a whole-house generator and two leased propane tanks. There is need to worry about inclement weather power outages here. This home is proximal to Randolph-Macon College, downtown, and the many quaint local shops and restaurants in the ?Center of the Universe.? Sellers will pay $5000 towards closing costs or to be used as a painting allowance.
